  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Homophobes

    Well, since pescador has left the conversation, I'll just put this out in the for what it's worth category. God has declared in the Scriptures how He feels about any and all sin...He cannot abide it, and it will have no part in His heaven. The current trend in our society towards approval of...

    Rapture False doctrine

    Admittedly, I've not read every post in this thread, but, I wonder what those of you who do not subscribe to the pre-trib rapture concept think about Jesus' teaching on the subject. It's found in Luke 21. That chapter is Luke's version of Matthew's chapter 24, commonly referred to as the...

    Did Jonah Die?

    Jonah's usage of the word "grave" in that passage is prophetic...looking forward to Jesus' reference back to Jonah in describing His own burial. Matt. 12 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in...

    Need help

    Quite right...all religions but two are the product of man's imagination, and not worthy of your consideration. The exceptions are Judaism and Christianity. Those two God himself instituted in speaking with select people who conveyed his message. Christianity separates itself from all other...

    Why are most Christians republicans?

    "never called to change the world"? I don't know about that. We are certainly called be an influence in the world, by Jesus himself. Matt. 5 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and...

    Gay Pastors

    The Bible does not condemn the love, it condemns the act. The trouble with love for the homosexual though is that it brings with it the temptation of the act. James 1 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it...

    Gay Pastors

    I'll re-offer the Hebrews 10 passage that I quoted earlier: 26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries...

    Gay Pastors

    Jesus was a big proponent of not judging one another, as was Paul. But Jesus, Paul, and Peter were also big proponents of encouraging one another to holiness. Why? Because there is danger in sin, as the author of Hebrews explains- Heb. 10 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir...

    Is there a Pre-Tribulation Rapture?

    Just curious...you say "Jesus never taught a pre-tribulation rapture would occur so that his followers would escape." You reference the Matthew version of the Olivet discourse, but have you ever checked out Luke's account of the same discourse. It's found in Chapter 21. I assume we both...

    The Elect.

    Indeed. That line of thinking is in error. There is a line from an old commercial: "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature." Simply put, you can't fool God the Father. Gal. 6 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his...

    The Elect.

    Well, what does the Scripture say? Rom. 9 10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of...

    Apostles?

    I agree with all the above posters that the last living Apostle was John, who went to be with the Lord shortly after penning Revelation. However, your guy would be correct in calling himself a saint. All Christians are saints. The Roman Catholic business of proving that the guy performed a...

    Which Study Bible?

    I really like the MacArthur Study Bible. John MacArthur's theology is fundamentalist, young-earth creationist, and his teaching closely follows along Baptist lines. I have it in the NKJV, which substitutes contemporary English words for ones that have fallen out of usage (you instead of thee...

    Is it illegal to be a Christian yet?

    Christianity has been subtlely under attack in this country ever since the Supreme Court decision in the early 60's to ban the Bible and God from the public classroom. In the last decade or so, the attacks have become bolder...efforts to ban Christian symbols, such as Ten Commandments plaques...

    Should all christians believe in the 6 days creation?

    You are certainly correct that there are places in the Scriptures where "yom" is rendered as something other that a 24 hour period. Sometimes it means the daylight portion of a day and at other times, an indefinite period of time. Illustrating the three different uses: "Back in my...
